C/circumvention.page     13) Direct access to the Tor network may sometimes be blocked by your Internet
C/circumvention.page     14) Service Provider or by a government. Tor Browser includes some
C/circumvention.page     15) circumvention tools for getting around these blocks. These tools are called
C/circumvention.page     16) “pluggable transports”. See the <link xref='transports'>Pluggable
C/circumvention.page     17) Transports</link> page for more  information on the types of transport
C/circumvention.page     18) that are currently available.

C/circumvention.page     62) Each of the transports listed in Tor Launcher’s menu works in a different
C/circumvention.page     63) way (for more details, see the <link xref="transports">Pluggable
C/circumvention.page     64) Transports</link> page), and their effectiveness depends on your
C/circumvention.page     65) individual circumstances.

C/circumvention.page     68) If you are trying to circumvent a blocked connection for the first time,

C/circumvention.page     69) you should try the different transports: obfs3, obfs4, ScrambleSuit, fte,
C/circumvention.page     70) meek-azure, meek-amazon.

C/circumvention.page     73) If you try all of these options, and none of them gets you online,
C/circumvention.page     74) you will need to enter bridge addresses manually. Read the <link 
C/circumvention.page     75) xref='bridges'>Bridges</link> section to learn what bridges are and how
C/circumvention.page     76) to obtain them.
